Our Moderators

Our moderators are market research professionals trained in conducting, managing and analyzing focus group sessions, leading participants through a pre-designed discussion guide by stimulating participation and facilitating insightful discussion.

Though our moderators run focus groups mostly in Salt Lake City, they are available to travel to moderate focus groups in other cities.

Recruiting

We perform recruiting in-house so you don’t have to. Dan Jones & Associates has a large cache of engaged focus group participants and performs special recruits for difficult-to- reach populations.

When looking at national demographics, Salt Lake City is a perfect location to recruit certain populations, including full-time mothers, outdoor enthusiasts (e.g. skiers, snowboarders, outdoor survivalists, mountain bikers), young university students. From an industry standpoint, Salt Lake City has a strong representation in the technology and startup realms.
